"But you're all in it together!" he yells! (Movie reference) … By the way, do you know the movie references?
I’m going to guess this is from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest?

Hi Compasseagle89! Thanks for your reply! But it's not the right answer. It's a famous line from a 1973 French film that tells the story of three French soldiers in 1940 during the German invasion. It was a period, starting in the 1960s, when many French films were produced that mocked the German occupiers. For example, the film "La Grande Vadrouille" (The Great Stroll) with Louis de Funès.

As for the second film reference, it's "La colline des hommes perdus" (The Hill of Lost Men), the French title and "The Hill" in the original. It stars Sean Connery, who, in my opinion, delivers the best performance of his career. In the Libyan desert, a camp of British prisoners (deserters, etc.) is subjected to constant mistreatment (to say the least) by the guards. A sand dune in the middle of the camp is perpetually climbed and descended by the men. The death of a prisoner who pushed himself beyond his limits sparks a revolt... The film's central question: submit to authority or disobey? Everyone will have their own opinion after seeing it.

Ready2gom44 / Snip114
Aller 3 / 5 - victoire Snip114
Retour 5 / 1 - victoire ready

Desole...
I apologize I have been unavailable with work, but I have returned now. I confirm the results and also add figure counts:
Game 1: Snip114 5 medals, 17 figs; Ready2GoM44 3 medals, 8 figs
Game 2: Snip114 1 medal, 6 figs; Ready2GoM44 5 medals 17 figs

Total:
Snip114 6 medals, 23 figs; Ready2GoM44 8 medals 25 figs
We were only separated by 2 figs even if also 2 medals

I think these desert scenarios have a lot more luck involved than other scenarios. I got more lucky.

Matché joué en 15 minutes, tant la map est rapide car frontale !

Jeronimon - Junior72 : 5-7 (14-23)

L'aller en 4 tours et je gagne 5-0 (ordre du QG et assaut de blindés) avec les allemands....
Le retour (un peu) plus lent et Jeroen gagne 5-2

Match played in 15 minutes, the map is so fast because it's so frontal !
4 turns fort the first round and I won 5-0 (HQ order and tank assault) with the Germans.... The second round was (a little) slower and Jeroen won 5-2

I hope some people sweep this time.

Otherwise I might get taken by the evil enemy! 😇
